Question:
My clothes, possibly pajamas, were stained with my dad’s feces, and his toilet contained unflushed feces. My mom tried to clean them in the bathroom sink. Later, she offered me clothes to choose from, including a rich velvet garment decorated with fruit.
Answer:
Your clothing–meaning your inner spiritual state–especially at night, is full of mistakes, just like your father’s was ( an allusion to Sayyidina Adam (as)? ). Then, by following the path your mother has shown you, you are able to transform that inner state to something higher by God’s holy grace.
Allah knows best.
